The Void Earth became a refuge for many bandits, because a good law couldn't be stablished.
Marcel, knew the still good areas to be at without any problems when back in the day both used to wonder as kids. Uncharted territory for sure, back in the day….
He remembered, that way over the mountains, where the thunder weeps itself about their loss child and the bears transform into humans, shape shifters conglomeration settled down away from overpopulated cities, to stop the unnecessary killing of humans roaming out when loosing the last arrival destination. When daylight did not allow the shapeshifters free roaming, the two daredevils used to cross over the fence surrounding the good area of The Void Area.
Electric invisible fences kept the shapeshifters out and about.l
Skin-walkers as very well known in the area, can change from human to any animal and imitate perfectly the call to let others known of their stay in the area.
The legend of skin-walkers is deeply embedded in Navajo tradition and rarely discussed with outsiders. This reticence is partly due to cultural taboos and the lack of contextual understanding by non-Navajos. Stories often depict skin-walkers using their powers for evil, and they are considered a source of fear and mystery within Navajo communities. Traditional accounts describe them as powerful sorcerers who, after engaging in various nefarious acts, gain the ability to transform into animals at will.
Reports of a Banshee, a female spirit who heralds the death of a family member, usually by screaming, wailing, shrieking…Sometimes she has long streaming hair, which she may be seen combing, with some legends specifying she can only keen while combing her hair. She wears a grey cloak over a green dress, and her eyes are red from continual weeping.She may be dressed in white with red hair and a ghastly complexion…
A chilling screaming could be heard in the distance….
What could've been?
Blood curdling
And interesting….
Calling the attention of both Garrett and Marcel…..
A shooting star seemed to have passed by, like cutting the sky in two, bleeding ashes as it continued his journey to the end of the galaxy.
-oh, Haley again….
Sweet little mischievous girl…
Gossiping elaborated conspiracy theories as passing by between planets….
For a moment, Garrett seemed to have had missed Ada….
-love, I miss you
Garrett's mind whispered….
For a moment, Garrett stopped and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as trying to preserve the very last image of Ada when they were together, on their last assignment.
-rather go back to work, silly boy!
And started the engine of his ship.
On his assignment information package, included were some videos and recordings gathered for his information, started to build up a better view of the place where Garrett had to go.
Marcel, checking up the engine soon to land at the located coordinates, was so focused on his job that did not realized Garrett had kinda be absent…..
But physically was there, in the ship, both, where no man has gone before…..
An outsider described to them, before crossing the fence. A fair warning these two lads did not take into consideration. Their curiosity and desire to explore could do more than their curiosity….
Or maybe both.
But that night was unusually dark. Not much could've been seen in miles around them.
Tired and thirsty, they stopped by a river they heard running wild towards what it seemed to end at a waterfall. The closer they got, the lauder the waterfall sounded.
They stopped by some rocks protecting and indicating the waterfall was close by. They heard at a distance a pack of wolves calling the rest of its group to stop for water to satisfy their thirst from a long trip through the dry desert.
Marcel and Garret soon fell asleep, tired and exhausted from the long walk.
Both felt secure….
Garret, heard a soft panting near by and opened his eyes. Marcel, totally fallen asleep locked knocked out.
Garret did not have time to react. One of the shapeshifters, a wolf, stumbled into him, not allowing him to stand up. The more he tried, the more the wolf growled to him.
Once the whole pack calmed down and sat down, one of the wolfs approached Garrett from the back of the pack. It was shiny black. It growled at the other wolfs of the pack. The other wolfs sat and calm down.
It was noticeable; one of the wolves seemed to be bigger in size than the others. All the other wolves in the pack opened up the way for the bigger one, like paying respects and loyalty to its leader. Two of the wolves came up to Garrett, whom still laying on the floor, watched how the leader of the pack approached him.
Magnificent and large, it gained its respect amongst the pack of wolves.
Like any dog, the wolf started to sniffing him.
Garrett, still hesitant, carefully watched the wolf's moves.
The huge wolf's paws stood on top of Garrett's chest, to prevent him from moving; and at the same time, to intimidate his prey….
Once the wolf locked eyes with Garret, he noticed himself dizzy….like something overcoming him….his eyes rolled back and passed out….
Marcel, who fell asleep too; on the other side of the river, could only see a huge wolf on top of Garrett's body, and started to yell and scream to scare off the wolf on top of his friend…
But one of the wolves on that side ran to jump onto him, causing him to loose his balance, making to fall and hit his head against one of the rocks, making him loose his consciousness…
Marcel, watching with horror; all happening in front of his eyes, felt unable to stand up to scare the wolfs going around Cree and closing up like having no mercy on their prey. The frenzy was so chaotic that some of the wolfs were fighting against others, like fighting for their prize…..
Cree lying in the ground unconscious seemed to have no life….
No moves…..
No breathing…..
Back at base, at Heathergate, Ada was finalizing one of her audit report findings when the radar seemed to have changed its normal secured beeping. It was weakening and was holding a lot of static.
Ada's curiosity made her get closer to the radar and tries to catch the location from where these weaker signals where coming from..
After taking a closer look, Ada recognized the area from where the last, kind of sos came from….
The void area everyone's talked about…
The Void Earth.
